Depends on how old you are
If Case stays in Indiana there is no tobacco road. ESPN gave the ACC visibility from the 1980's on.

Duke Fan
Figures it would be a Duke fan who thinks college basketball started in the coach k era. That is what happens when you let yankees take over a southern school and turn it yankee.

Well
If you had been old school ACC, this would have been the correct emoticon
If you had been a UNC fan posing as a Duke fan, this would have been the correct emoticon
What do you expect?
What was on your mind?
Enlighten us all with your point of view.

What does this mean? Duke was a founding member
. You want old school ACC? If it was up to me, VPI, Miami and BC would all get kicked out of the conference for sucking dick at basketball and football, which was the only reason they were brought in.

Kentucky would be one of the best teams in the ACC.

They would be part of the 8 way tie for 3rd best.

Talking basketball here
Everett Case 1900 - 1966
Case assumed coaching duties at N.C. State. In 18 years, he compiled a 377-134 (.737) record—still the best in school history. He won nine straight conference titles from 1946 to 1955. He won six straight Southern Conference titles before the Wolfpack joined most of the SoCon's other large schools in forming the Atlantic Coast Conference, and then led the Wolfpack to the first three conference titles. He added a fourth in 1959.
Case persuaded the administration to build a 12,400-seat arena, instead of the 10,000-seat facility originally planned. The ACC's basketball tournament was largely Case's idea, with Reynolds Coliseum hosting the first 13 ACC tournaments from 1954 through 1966. It was Case's idea to get the ACC to recognize the tournament winner as the conference champion—and thus the winner of the conference's lone berth in the NCAA tournament.
When Case came to Raleigh, North Carolina was, like most states in the South, enraptured by college football. However, he is largely credited with making basketball a craze in the state. For example, in his first year in Raleigh, the fire marshal canceled a game because people were spilling onto the floor of tiny Thompson Gymnasium and climbing in through windows. The other three schools along Tobacco Road--Duke, North Carolina and Wake Forest—responded by upgrading their facilities and recruiting budgets to counter the "red menace" in Raleigh.
For a time, it looked as if the Wolfpack would dominate the ACC in the same fashion that Kentucky dominated the Southeastern Conference. However, the Wolfpack's momentum was derailed in 1956, when the NCAA placed N.C. State on four years' probation.

He created a culture, but the dude never won or even made it to a championship game.

You are so funny!
Kentucky has won 8 NCAA banners under 5 different coaches, all of Dukes came from just 1 coach
Kentucky has NCAA banners from 5 different decades, Duke has just 2
If UK cuts down the nets this year their NCAA's will equal UNC + Duke
FWIW, SEC has 11 banners so it is not like folks don't know how to ball in the conference.
Frank Martin on the quality of play in SEC basketball
And while we're at it - don't get him started on the belief that the SEC isn't much of a basketball league, particularly coming off a campaign where Florida was No. 1 for much of the regular season, Kentucky made it to the national championship game as a No. 8 seed, and Tennessee nearly joined its two conference mates in the Final Four.
"I'm really getting sick to my stomach with that whole rhetoric that this league's not any good. Bruce Pearl, Elite Eight. Bill Donovan, speaks for itself. Just go on down the line. Kevin Stallings, Elite Eight. Mike Anderson, Elite Eight. I've been fortunate enough to be in an Elite Eight game. (John) Calipari, three Final Fours at three different universities. Just take your pick. Just keep going down the line," Martin said.
"Those are the kinds of coaches you have in this conference, and to sit back and tell coaches who understand what it takes to be successful that their league stinks - it's a joke. That's personal. It doesn't stink. I don't know who started that whole phenomena that the SEC's no good. I don't know who it is. It just makes no sense to me whatsoever. None."
"Everyone says that the league was down last year. OK, then, how's Kentucky lose 10 games and play for the national championship? They're no good? Or are they real good? ... Tennessee beat teams by 40 in non-conference play, and then they come into our league and lose six games, I think they lose in league play. And all of the sudden, they're not any good. Really? They were a minute away from going to the Final Four and having three (SEC) teams in the Final Four. How is that possible if you don't have a conference that's any good?" Martin asked.
"It's hard for me to understand this whole rhetoric and dynamic about the SEC not being very good. It really is. If it didn't bother me, I would have given you a two-word answer and we'd have moved on. But I just don't get it. I really don't. And I think a lot of the people who report the league isn't very good don't pay attention to basketball."

Wolfpack had 2 banners before Duke even got their first.
Old school was UNC vs NC State
New age is UNC vs Duke
Future will probably be UNC vs Line Beards
Tar Heels are the constant in the ACC, not Duke.
